Joseph Campbell Quotes

Follow your bliss and the universe will open 
doors where there were only walls.

We must be willing to let go of the life we planned 
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Life has no meaning. 
Each of us has meaning and we bring it to life.
It is a waste to be asking the question 
when you are the answer.

Your life is the fruit of your own doing. 
You have no one to blame but yourself.

Find a place inside where there's joy, 
and the joy will burn out the pain.

Marriage is not a simple love affair, 
it's an ordeal, and the ordeal is 
the sacrifice of ego to a relationship 
in which two have become one.

The black moment is the moment 
when the real message of transformation 
is going to come. 
At the darkest moment comes the light.

We're so engaged in doing things 
to achieve purposes of outer value that 
we forget the inner value, 
the rapture that is associated with being alive,
is what it is all about.

The cave you fear to enter holds 
the treasure you seek.

Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. 
We cannot cure the world of sorrows, 
but we can choose to live in joy.

The psychotic drowns in the same waters
in which the mystic swims with delight.

I don't believe people are looking for
the meaning of life 
as much as they are looking for 
the experience of being alive.

Every religion is true one way or another. 
It is true when understood metaphorically. 
But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, 
interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble.

Sit in a room and read--and read and read. 
And read the right books by the right people. 
Your mind is brought onto that level, 
and you have a nice, mild, 
slow-burning rapture all the time.

When your heart speaks,
take good notes.

The best journeys in life are
those that answer questions
you never thought to ask.

Eternity isn't some later time. 
Eternity isn't even a long time. 
Eternity has nothing to do with time.
Eternity is that dimension of here and now 
that all thinking in temporal terms cuts off....
This is it. The experience of eternity right here and now, in all things, whether thought of as good or as evil, 
is the function of life.

I don't have to have faith,
I have experience.

Opportunities to find deeper 
powers within ourselves come 
when life seems most challenging.

What is required is the finding of 
that Immovable Point within one's self, 
which is not shaken by any of those tempests 
which the Buddhists call 'the eight karmic winds': 
1-fear of pain,
2-desire for pleasure; 
3-fear of loss; 
4-desire for gain; 
5-fear of blame, 
6-desire for praise; 
7-fear of disgrace; [and] 
8-desire for fame.

Follow your bliss and don't be afraid,
and doors will open where
you didn't know they were going to be.
